Which station is closest to Froxfield Green?
Petersfield station, about 2.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Froxfield Green close to London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
What if timings change?
Yes. We start when you are ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Mention allergies you know about
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In winter, it is dark in Froxfield Green by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your wake. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
